I have been creating art for many years with a background in painting and calligraphy. My jewelry design
business was started in 1993. Looking for unique beads to use in my jewelry led me to lampwork beads which I purchased from
many other bead makers. After a move to Seattle I started taking classes at Pratt Art Institute and have studied with Larry
Brickman and Kimberly Affleck. I have also taken a class with Leah Fairbanks.
I am a member of SRA a group of self-representing artists, member #22.
My other interests in life are my grandchildren, gardening, reading, biking & swimming. I participated
in my first triathlon (Danskin) last summer and loved it.
